Beautiful setting, right on the shore of Keweenah Bay. Sites are roomy, but some are very unlevel. The only hookup is electricity, but there is potable water at the dump station. They also have a fill station complete with several hoses on the road close to sites 6-12. Bathrooms are old but clean. There is a gazebo on the shore of the lake and there is a rocky beach here.
